[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2044701, member: 10429"] I started to think about this a little more. That 220 ELDX bullet that I hit the deer with opened up very fast. I think it was due to hitting one of the father back rib bones at impact. I somewhat forgot to hold for the wind, low light but still a very doable shot. I don't remember the exit or if it did exit. I did not find the bullet. Now talking about using light bullets on larger game. My wife shot her mule deer at 292ish yards with an 87 grain VLD that the load was pretty anemic for the light bullet but it was found in the off side between the hide and a little bit of the mask white skin. It pretreated through the left shoulder after going through the right side rib cage. The load only had about 1000fp of energy but it did the job jut fine. Deer took 1 lunge forward and dropped in its tracks. This was a Utah Mule deer above average body weight and was in great condition. Well that what they told us at the check point station. We had him mounted and made lots of good deer burgers and sausage. On another note I have never eaten moose but I hear its the best out of your north American deer species. [/QUOTE]
